10 Minutes Till Dawn — Play Free Online

About 10 Minutes Till Dawn

10 Minutes Till Dawn gives you exactly ten minutes. Monsters pour in from every side, you shoot them, and each level-up offers three upgrades that change how your gun or your character works. The pressure rises every minute, the final stretch is a wall of enemies, and surviving the full ten is the whole goal.

It is the bullet-heaven cousin of a bullet-hell fight: instead of dodging one boss, you dodge a crowd while building something strong enough to hold it back.

How to Play 10 Minutes Till Dawn

1. Press Play and pick a character and a weapon.
2. Move with WASD, aim with the mouse and shoot; reloading takes a moment, so time it.
3. Collect the experience gems the monsters drop and choose an upgrade at each level.
4. Survive until the timer reaches zero.

Controls

• WASD: move. Mouse: aim. Left click or hold: shoot.
• R: reload.
• Space: dash on some characters.

Tips and Tricks

• Keep moving in a wide circle. Standing still is death after minute four.
• Upgrades that pierce or bounce are worth more than raw damage once the crowd is thick.
• Reload when the screen is empty, never in the middle of a swarm.
• The boss in the last two minutes is the run. Save a dash for it.
